Ha! You think so? I watched Deep Impact last night. Big comet almost hits the Earth, but a team of Astronauts led by Robert Duval blow up their nuclear-armed/power spaceship in the big comet, destroying it, while the other much smaller comet plunges into the Atlantic Ocean. Frodo, er, I mean Elijah Wood, escapes again with his teen bride. Do you think this is fiction? Or could it have REALLY happened? Makes one go hmmmmmm.....
